As a slight detour from my usual work, I have put together some off the League of Augsburg, Mad for War, model ships, namely fireships that form part of their collection of marvellous models for the Anglo-Dutch period of naval warfare.

These models were painted for a friend in time for Xmas and required a slight change in technique from the larger stuff I tend to work on but were fun to do.

Very nice and informative too as before I had always assumed fireships were rafts or small single mast boats.

I like the way the flames and sails are going in the same direction! Sometimes flames are depicted as independent entities and go whatever way they want.

Great Looking!

Very cool. I've never played with fire ship miniatures. I like these. BTW Yule log fire ships. ;)
